Originally released in 1969, this is Gilberto Gil's rare second self-titled album in as many years. This is a massive slab of Tropicalia, and one of the most forward-thinking pop albums to ever come out of Brazil. Gilberto Gil manages to incorporate psychedelic experimentation, blues, rock, samba and post-bossa into a whole much greater than the sum of it's parts. A Tropicalia classic given the usual Water high quality re-issue treatment.
